Kariya, Feb 23, 2009 - (JCN Newswire) - DENSO Corporation will hold its second international educational program called, "DENSO YOUTH for EARTH Action: New Earthlings Project" (DYEA) in Japan from Oct.7-20, 2009. DENSO's DYEA program, which is co-sponsored by the Japan Environmental Education Forum, encourages young people to become actively involved in creating a sustainable society with a broad insight that encompasses diverse viewpoints.
This year, the program will have approximately 30 undergraduate and graduate students from six ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) countries - Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Singapore - and Japan.
Students will participate in an on-site program focusing on water resources in which they will observe and experience how humankind coexists with nature in environmentally rich regions in Japan, including Mount Fuji in Shizuoka Prefecture, Lake Biwa in Shiga Prefecture and sites in Aichi Prefecture. Based on what they learn, the participants will formulate an action plan for attaining a sustainable society and present their ideas at a forum in Aichi, Japan on Dec. 12, 2009.
The first program, which was implemented last year, included 24 undergraduate and graduate students from both Thailand and Japan. Participants engaged in on-site programs in Japan, including the Kushiro Wetland in Hokkaido and other locations in Aichi Prefecture and developed action plans to attain a sustainable society based upon their experiences. Three of the best plans were selected and announced at a forum held in Aichi Prefecture.
Currently, all participants are working to realize their action plans.
